It was such a headache when we needed to choose a place luxury enough to celebrate one of our good friends back from New Zealand for her new job with long term settle in HK. Well, here we finally chose Mandarin Grill, a dream place where I wanted to try since ages ago.
After my booking was made through website, I was really surprised with the warmth gesture of Mandarin Grill, they replied to offer us a complimentary pastry for our celebration! (*that was really thoughtful, whilst other restaurants seldom approach to offer us a small cake but only wordings on dessert.)
Such a long week with much expectation to the date of our dinner! When we arrived at the door, the receptionist greeted us nicely for pre-drink, we refused because all of us were starving (next time we would definitely come for drinking, the bar itself looks really unique and comfy!)
Their servers were really helpful and patience whilst we all having difficulties to make decision of our menu choices, which we have asked such lots of questions~ xoxo!! We truly thankful for the attentive service and explaination from Jacky! We finally chose different options to share for starter & dessert, but same choice for main course - roast beef.
For myself, I do really love the "Matcha", its presentation with traditional Japanese matcha culture was the most adorable fact, it was not hot green tea but a cold soup, a really nice starter!
Well, there is nothing to comment about roast beef, which is always perfect! Especially for beef-lover and those who love to eat "rare", this is a must try, and should return again for this! We were so lucky that we all ordered the last three portions of roast beef as it is limited per each dining period.
For desserts, we shared among the "Chocolate Fondant", "Cherry", and "Chocolate-orange Soufflé". I specially like "Cherry" which was amazing with a real alike cherry presentation, but it was actually a sugar mold filled with ice-cream, excellent for photo~
and the soufflé was so delicious too! Besides, it came the small pastry in white with rose patel, how cute with a candle and printed inscriptions of "Welcome Back to HK!". (Our friend was so touched!!)
This was a great evening to welcome our good friend from overseas, and we sure will come back again soon for the roast beef!
At last but not least, a real BIG THANK YOU to all servers for your wonderful hospitality!
